How to Create a Conservation-minded Campus?
The cartoon give above vividly depicted that while a student is watering the flower a teacher reminds him of paying attention to save water. A conservation-minded campus is not only the place without extravagance and waste, but it also means a palace of harmony. Such a campus is clean, tidy and recyclable.
Surely, it's not easy to realize such a beautiful dream and create such as an ideal campus. However, there are certain suggestions which are probably conducive to the construction of a conservation-minded campus. Firstly, it's advisable for universities to make full use of clean energies as many as possible, such as solar energy, wind energy and natural gas. For example, university canteen could cook by solar energy. Secondly, it's necessary for campuses to establish a whole recycling system from garbage collection to water reuse. Thirdly, strengthening the awareness of environmental protection and conservational economy is vital to the construction of a conservation-minded campus.
The establishment of a conservation-mined campus does good to maintain a sustainable development for the university in the long run. Both university authority and students will benefit from such a scheme. (168 words)

如何創(chuàng)建資源節(jié)約型校園?
上面這幅漫畫生動地描繪了當(dāng)一個學(xué)生正在澆花時，老師走過來提醒他要注意節(jié)約用水。資源節(jié)約型校園不僅是沒有鋪張和浪費的地方，而且還意味著要和諧。這樣的校園是干凈的、整潔的、可循環(huán)的。
當(dāng)然，要實現(xiàn)如此美好的夢想，創(chuàng)建如此理想的校園并非易事。不過，有一些建議也許對資源節(jié)約型校園建設(shè)有所幫助。首先，建議大學(xué)盡可能多地充分利用清潔能源，如太陽能、風(fēng)能和天然氣。例如，大學(xué)食堂可以用太陽能做飯。其次，有必要在校園內(nèi)建立從收集垃圾到水資源再利用整套的循環(huán)系統(tǒng)。第三，增強環(huán)保和資源節(jié)約的意識對于建設(shè)資源節(jié)約型校園來說至關(guān)重要。
從長遠來看，建立資源節(jié)約型校園有助于學(xué)校維持可持續(xù)發(fā)展。校方和學(xué)生都將會受益于這種方案。
